Cole Clark Electrics,Lap Steels & More-Summer NAMM

PG's Chris Burgess is On Location in Nashville, TN, for Summer
NAMM '09 where he visits the Cole Clark booth. In this video segment,
we get introduced to some of Cole Clark's electric guitar models
(recently introduced to the US marketplace), ukuleles (Ukelady) and lap
steel models.

First off, we see the Guardian - reminiscent of
the Strat - that features a Queensland maple body, rock maple neck and
a 25.5" scale length. The Culprit series - a T-style body - can feature
a bunya, silkwood, qld maple or quandong body and has various pickup
configurations - 2 single coils or 2 single coils with a humbucker
(coil tap) option.

The Ukelady (UL1, UL2, UL3) can feature
either a solid blackwood or rosewood body and like their acoustic
models, the variations between models resides in the each guitar's
aesthetic appointments (binding and abalone fingerboard markings).

The
first lap steel model featured is the Lap Dog that features a solid
bunya body with a Cole Clark Horse Shoe single-coil pickup. The other
model seen is the Violap that comes with a hollow body, with an
internally carved top and back. This particular model has a Cole Clark
proprietary pickups built into the top/saddle and two additional
humbuckers in the standard bridge and neck positions for those in need
of distorted tones.
